[TenTec] ORION and USB/COM adapter ?

[Paul Henning]

Try www.quatech.com they make the adapters you mention. Or better yet they
make a series of PCI boards which add four or more serial ports to the PC.
Most USB adapters are iffy at best. Some work some don't. When they do work
there can be big latency problems. The Quatech PCI boards work flawlessly if
you remember to select the setting for the port clock speed multiplier as
being 1X. There is a problem with the super speed settings in that MOST TT
software including Carl's software do not seem to set the high order baud
rate bits correctly to enable allow for the high speed clocks. Other then
this problem I have used the Quatech boards with TT software, N4PY software,
a Pegasus, a Jupiter, Logger 16, Logger 32, Logic7, and several rotator
controllers.

Hello,

as I'll own an ORION soon, I have to think about integrating it into my 
shack..
Well... and that's the problem: as many others, my PC has only one 
serial port, which is already in use for PR. My idea is to use one of 
those COM/USB adapters. Did anybody already tried this out, did it will 
work well with the updates, and with ORION control software ?
The PC is running Microsoft Windows XPhome.
